How do I get over the fact that I've wasted the best years of my life with nothing to show for it?
By either (1) doing something about it or (2) not caring. You'll be dead by the end of this century for sure and all this will be long forgotten, so who gives a fuck? Find something you enjoy and do it. Waste time then die.
start over. look at this cute picture of a cute cabbage-hat baby
>If you slept through your 26th birthday, it's too late for you to experience that. It's too late for you to watch "LOST" in its premiere broadcast. (Though, honestly, you didn't miss much.) It's too late for you to fight in the Vietnam War. It's too late for you to go through puberty or attend nursery school. It's too late for you to learn a second language as proficiently as a native speaker*. It's probably too late for you to be breastfed.
>It's not too late for you to fall in love.
>It's not too late for you to have kids.
>It's not too late for you to embark on an exciting career or series of careers.
>It's not too late for you to read the complete works of Shakespeare; learn how to program computers; learn to dance; travel around the world; go to therapy; become an accomplished cook; sky dive; develop an appreciation for jazz; write a novel; get an advanced degree; save for your old age; read "In Search of Lost Time"; become a Christian, then an atheist, then a Scientologist; break a few bones; learn how to fix a toilet; develop a six-pack ...
>Honestly, I'm 47, and I'll say this to you, whippersnapper: you're a fucking kid, so get over yourself. I'm a fucking kid, too. I'm almost twice your age, and I'm just getting started! My dad is in his 80s, and he wrote two books last year.
>You don't get to use age as an excuse. Get off your ass!
>Also, learn about what economists call "sunk costs." If I give someone $100 on Monday, and he spends $50 on candy, he'll probably regret that purchase on Tuesday. In a way, he'll still think of himself as a guy with $100—half of which is wasted.
>What he really is is a guy with $50, just as he would be if I'd handed him a fifty-dollar bill. A sunk cost from yesterday should not be part of today's equation. What he should be thinking is this: "What should I do with my $50?"
>What you are isn't a person who has wasted 27 years. You are a person who has X number of years ahead of you. What are you going to do with them?

OP I'm in my mid 30s and I'm starting out again for the 4th time. I'm excited about it, about the fact that one made new friends, been having amazing experiences and I know I've a lot more to look forward to. Stoo being a pussy, get off your fat ass and enjoy yourself. Also stop smoking weed, the meme is bullshit. GL

Check it out. 80yr old still got it. "It's never too late."
How can they have been the best if you wasted them dipshit?
Let that sink in for a monent and you'll get it
Just spend 2 years of body building with steroids and put yourself up for offer as somebodies sex toy. Have a 10/10 sexy girl take you in and make sure she keeps bringing in regular disease free partners into the mix occasionally. And agree that if she takes care of you and feeds you that you'll have sex with her whenever she wants
Live a year this way and nothing else that happens in your life will ever beat that
